CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it.” M. Scott Peck

How often do we find ourselves ignoring opputunity to invest in our children, significant others, or people in general because we are distracted or entralled by something else (i.e. social media, cell phone, etc.) We do well to reduce these distractions and to engage with our children and others by learning about them and relating to them. In some ways this goes against our nature which we have to learn how to defy in order to have the best quality in our relationships.

MOLESKIN:

We prayed for our ability to cope with holiday stress, career decisions, and the Mend House.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Manilow will be on Q Thursday. Other Q’s are still available in December.

MAX DEPREE – LEADING WITHOUT POWER

 

“NO QUESTION ABOUT IT: POTENTIAL IS WRAPPED IN GREAT MYSTERY. LIKE RAINBOWS, WHICH ARE REALLY CIRCLES – WE ONLY SEE THE UPPER HALVES, THE HORIZON HIDES THE REST – POTENTIAL NEVER REVEALS ITS ENTIRETY. PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTEER TO WORK WITH FOLKS LIVING WITH DISABILITIES DO THEIR JOBS AND MOVE AHEAD WHETHER THEY HAVE THE ANSWERS OR NOT. THEY LEARN TO WORK EXPECTANTLY AND PATIENTLY WITH THE MYSTERY OF POTENTIAL.”

2019 has been a tough year among our F3 brotherhood – we have dealt with illness, injury, death.  In light of that and also in light of the Christmas season I decided to share several scriptures of encouragement to remind us that GOD is ultimately in control and we can find our rest in him.

MOLESKIN:
It’s always fun to have a big group together for a convergence workout – today was not different.   It was great to see many faces I hadn’t seen in a long time.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
